No -- your observations are valuable. I actually have three routers (2
2501s and 1 2514). I started with the 2501 in question simply because it
had the correct amount of RAM and Flash for the 12.2 IOS. I've checked the
Bootstrap Software and have the correct version for 12.2 -- so I'm going to
swap the RAM/Flash between the 2501 and 2514. Then I'll try the many
suggestions put forth here.
The Rube Goldberg solution you proposed (to get the benefit of the 2d
ethernet port) probably also works (I plan to try it -- just to see if it
actaully does work), but first I'm gonna' stick with the 2514 solution. I
guess I'm finally getting into some lab/hands on work -- now that I have
absorbed all that theory in obtaining the CCNP/CCDP -- which is what it's
all about anyway.
Thanks for your input. I've been an admirer (of your knowledge) of yours
since I first undertook this new career some two years ago!

If your router only has one Ethernet port and you already used that one
Ethernet port to connect back-to-back to your cable modem, then you can't
also connect your router to an Ethernet hub.
You could connect the router and the cable modem to a hub instead of
connecting them back-to-back, but I have the sense that that doesn't
accomplish what you want to accomplish.
You could get yourself another 2501 router and connect the two routers
using a WAN cross-over cable and the serial ports and then use the Ethernet
port of the second router. Now we're really getting into some Rube Goldberg
solutions though.
Probably the best bet is replace the router with a router that has two
Ethernet ports. If your network design calls for two Ethernet LANs, then
you need a router with two Ethernet ports. Sorry if I'm stating the
obvious!?
